About Andres

Andres Hoyo is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship or parenting challenges. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease daily struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

He uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's perspective first. That means conversations follow the client’s priorities and pace. He listens without judgment and encourages clients to find their own solutions.

Andres also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help slow down racing thoughts and increase emotional awareness. Motivational interviewing supports harder changes like addressing addictions or impulsive behavior.

In session he emphasizes clear goals and small, doable steps. He helps people work through grief, anger, self-esteem issues, and life transitions such as midlife concerns or career shifts. He also addresses blended family issues, immigration-related stress, and financial worries when these affect emotional health.

With eight years of experience, Andres aims for a collaborative tone. He encourages clients to tap their strengths while testing new ways of coping. If someone wants help, he asks them to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and values. The therapist listens closely, follows the person's priorities, and helps them notice strengths that can be used to solve problems. This approach is helpful for people feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck and wanting a collaborative space to talk.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, and mood patterns that keep repeating.

Mindfulness techniques help slow down racing thoughts and increase awareness of emotions and bodily sensations. These practices can support stress reduction and improve focus during life transitions or moments of strong emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means clients help shape which tools are used and when to shift strategies.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate how talking from a familiar setting helps them apply new skills to everyday life. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques effectively in remote or in-person meetings depending on your needs and schedule.
